Connie Converse was a remarkable composer who worked in the 1950s and 1960s. By 1974, depressed over her lack of recognition and success, she packed up her belongings and drove off never to be heard of again. Little known in her lifetime, she is now viewed as a pioneer of the modern singer/songwriter genre. This exciting compilation collects fifteen of her most unique and soulful songs performed by an all-star group of contemporary singer/songwriters. Featuring an informative essay by musician and Converse scholar David Garland, Vanity of Vanities is a heartfelt tribute to one of the unsung heroes of contemporary songwriting.
An all-star group of singer/songwriters pay tribute to the remarkable pioneer Connie Converse including Laurie Anderson, Karen O, Mike Patton, Petra Haden, Jesse Harris, Margaret Glaspy, Arone Dyer and Greg Saunier, Elysian Fields, Mary Halvorson and Jessica Pavone, Jessika Kenney and Eyvind Kang, Sarah Jarosz, Cassandra Jenkins, Sam Amidon, Big Thief with Jeff Tweedy and Twain, and Martha Wainwright.
